[ The pointed teeth doesn't make Nikolai start, but it does make him think about how dangerous this creature actually is. He lives in the world of the vor, and in that world, danger is inscribed in the signs of the body. It is always less of a 'who' then a 'what'.
So what is Vanadi, he of the pointy teeth? Nikolai knows it's dangerous, but he wants to find out.
He tips his thumb upwards, just slightly- the barest pressure that is still enough to prick the skin. ]
Are you the right judge?
[ Idly, while he scrapes his bleeding thumb over Vanadi's lips.'
